Nice surprise.

Seems it isn't hard to convince good actors to play comic characters these days...

I wonder if Eric Bana was effectively sacked.

i think he was originally contracted for a sequel.

although i guess it may have been by mutual agreement given the mixed reaction to the first one.

Although IMO i wouldn't have minded seeing him reprise the role with a different director.

Agreed.

(BF + Spiderfrommars) x agreement = FACT

THE Ed Norton??

Well, I'm all for that! But... it says that the guy that's writing the script is the same individual that did the less than stellar Elektra and Transporter 2...

Elektra?! I don't even have to see it to know it was terrible. Let's hope he does better this time.

Well, after picking one of the best actors in Hollywood IMO, I guess I gotta see it.

Norton or no, this sounds terrible. Popcorny braindead fun at best. Elektra at worst.

I think it's awesome that Norton might play the Hulk.
He's been a nazi, a bitter husband, a magician, a childrens cartoons character, a retired FBI agent, a hustler, etc. I like that he tries out different things.
